Question for you folks..
Is it TOO LATE to build a plug-in Hybrid Pickup truck?
This is a project I've thought about for a long time, but never happened for a number of reasons. Now, there are plenty of cheap used electric cars out there but NO trucks!
Even vehicles like a used Volt are rather inexpensive. Trying to build a hybrid pickup would start to come close to the cost of some used factory-built vehicle. How soon will we have a plug-in hybrid or long-range EV pickup truck?
I think I now have a few more skills, connections, etc. then I did when I originally had the idea. I actually have quite a few followers on YouTube and bet I could do a fund-raiser to buy the batteries and other key parts.
Bare minimum commitment would be 6 months, (with a year of tinkering to follow, if my other projects mean anything...)
What do you think, is it WORTH it to build a hybrid pickup truck? Or is it too late?
Here's my original concept video from a few years back.
